Some good suggestions. However I would personally stay well away from Hotspot Shield - not only because they display ads all over the place but because I also read that they sell your info to ad agencies. As they say - no such thing as a free lunch! Go for a paid one such as Hushtunnel ( http://www.hushtunnel.com ) which I can personally attest to - or Crypto Cloud ( https://www.cryptocloud.com/ ) which i've heard is also not bad.
